SITUATION: The property is very quietly tucked off the main thoroughfare through the village of Shipton Gorge, just into the close known as Rockway and enjoys peace and tranquillity. The surrounding countryside is renowned for its beauty and there are many walks to be enjoyed.

The village has a good community with community-run pub, village hall and recreational ground. The adjoining village of Burton Bradstock has a convenience store, garage, primary school, Parish Church, 2 pubs, boutique hotel and the renowned Hive Cafe right on the coastline where there is a mainly pebble beach together with access onto the Jurassic Coast and South West Coastal Path.

The vibrant market town of Bridport lies some 2 miles to the west with its mainly independent shops, twice-weekly street market, artists' and vintage quadrant, Leisure Centre with indoor swimming pool, Electric Palace theatre/cinema and Art Centre. The central Bucky Doo Square hosts bands, charity stalls and events all year round. There are organisations and clubs to suit most leisure interests and there is a well supported U3A group - there are so many opportunities to get involved.

THE PROPERTY comprises a detached bungalow of traditional construction featuring Bradstone elevations under a concrete tiled roof, built in the early 1970's. It has been well maintained and updated with the conversion of the garage to extra accommodation, double-glazed, large picture windows and doors, new external doors, a prevalence of wood flooring, a wood burner, PV panels on the roof with battery storage, modern kitchen and bathroom suites and lots of storage. The rooms are light and spacious and well decorated.
